Bond in Space was my favorite since I was a little kid, but this has been bothering me since I saw it again in my teens. loving dumbshit, controls =/= displays.

Did it earlier in the movie too; opening with the plane the bad guy shoots the gauges to "wreck the controls" (which leads to the awesome skydive fight, so I forgive them for that one at least).

Can't remember the scene but they were probably just all rolling to see who would go get more snacks.

Yes, this does requires two dice of different values. :colbert:

Stranger Things isn't accurate because there isn't one guy who is looking over their spells and abilities for like five minutes whenever it rollsa around to his turn, trying to figure out what the most optimal thing to do in the moment would be, completely obliterating the pacing of the battle.

What I mostly learned from Stranger Things was how lovely entertainment was in the 80's.

Imagine if the show was set in loving 2015. Cell phones would have solved so much.

Honestly we've already reached the point where movies are arbitrarily set in 1980-2005 just as an excuse to tell a story without having to worry about someone whipping out an iPhone. Just throw a few period-appropriate songs on the soundtrack and no one will catch on.

My IMM for S4 Stranger Things is why The hell would the scientist keep One around as some orderly in the lab as I feel like it would be a huge liability. Why wouldn't that dude be in a jar in suspended animation at the very least?

And I guess Eleven or One pretty much made the Upside Down? Perhaps their psychic powers work by reaching across dimensions, which can also be bridged by EM radiation (electric lights and speakers get affected). One/Vecna can also seem to reach out psychically to people in our dimension so I guess every human has a weak connection to this realm but people like One, Eleven, etc have a much stronger link ?

I would imagine that they're still performing experiments on one and keep him around for that. As for why he apparently also works there I have no idea

Probably one of those things where they kept him captive for years, and then thought that with the implant and years of placidity, they could put him to use around the facility rather than keep constant vigilance.

My IMM with that is why did he need Eleven to remove the implant? Seems like he knew where it was and it was just on the surface, I would imagine he could've removed it physically instead.

I wouldn't be trusting that motherfucker near sharp objects. Also he'd be very likely to cut something vital if he tried performing surgery on himself, and he's watched closely enough that he wouldn't have time to take time. Eleven, on the other hand, can extract it directly in a matter of seconds.

Bullet to the back of the head seems like the most expedient way to handle the danger, but also more an evil Russian secret lab kinda thing, rather than evil American secret lab. And yes, that inhibitor microchip should have been more deeply implanted, like between some vertebra or inside some bones. And why not put a bunch of chips in him?

My thought is that the upside down was always there, but in a much more ephemeral or formless way, and when El blasted One out of our plane of existence it solidified a copy of our side, thus Nancy's room being frozen at S1 and so on, rather than it being a consistent mirror of our world. That's not to say that upside-down-our-world is all that exists within the Upside Down, I'm thinking its more like a fragment of our world floating around the greater Negative Energy Plane or whatever.

One's ability to reach out and inflict spontaneous boneitis on folks may have to do with him initially being a human, and gifted at that, so he has a latent tie to our realm.

The first one's not even called Rambo. There's a very good movie about a mentally ill vietnam vet being pushed to his breaking point and killing a bunch of corrupt cops in the woods before being taken down by his own former CO called First Blood, and there's a series about an unstoppable killing machine going to foreign lands and mowing down hundreds of people called Rambo

Rambo's former CO is called Trautman, not First Blood.


And the people Rambo kills aren't called Rambo. They have various Vietnamese and Russian names.

Yup. Overrated, muddled, not nearly as clever as it thinks it is and any confusion caused by it is due to poor sound mixing and inept direction rather than it being too complex for the average moviegoer. It was a slightly better than average idea, poorly realised.

I admire the Grandiosity of his ambition, but he's letting his plots get in the way of themselves too much lately. Tenet is supposed to be his Bond, but it's got a plot that ties itself in knots. It should be simple

Yeah I play with a guy who in a previous campaign had specced out some legendary poo poo and combination of abilities that, when used in concert, could almost obliterate a demigod. But his actions were programmed into a dice roller, he knew what he wanted to do when his turn came up and twenty seconds later the thing he was attacking was (probably) dead and it was the next persons turn.

Conversely I also play with someone who has a rogue that never knows if they want to try to backstab something, or maybe they could stay at range and try to attack with a bow, though maybe it'd be better to activate a healing ability before doing that, or maybe a bonus action dodge could work here, or...Ugh.
